PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta received boos when he addressed the Democratic National Convention Monday night.
Podesta, who battled Bernie Sanders throughout the divisive primary season, advocated for "immigrants, people like my family and yours" in his remarks supporting Clinton.
"We will succeed in making history and elect the first woman president of the United States," Podesta concluded in uninspiring fashion.
Boos could be heard during Podesta's speech, presumably from the Bernie Sanders supporters who are blasting the Clinton campaign left and right here in Philadelphia as the convention opens to absolute chaos.
The boos started as soon as Podesta took the podium. The campaign chairman only stayed up there for about three minutes. The boos got especially noticeable when he told Bernie supporters that this is "your victory too."
Podesta was instrumental in limiting Debbie Wasserman Schultz's role at the convention after the DNC suffered an email leak showing that it actively colluded against the Bernie campaign. But apparently that was not enough to prevent Podesta from getting booed.
Delegates have been booing and disrupting the convention speeches routinely so far on Monday night, including loudly protesting the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, which Clinton helped to craft during her time in the Obama administration.
Some pro-Bernie delegates are still exploring their options for formally disrupting the convention from the floor.
Breitbart News has learned that some groups of delegates are considering nominating a vice presidential challenger to Clinton's pick Tim Kaine. Others are discussing a potential walkout by Sanders delegates. But Sanders' speech Monday afternoon urging people to vote for Clinton seems to have damaged the plans, prompting some pro-Bernie delegates to work instead to quash the uprising. The Democratic National Committee is also working to quash the rebellion, with rumors floating that the DNC is trying to break up possible rebels by changing the delegate seating arrangements.

It has been so long since I've had time to post pictures. Sorry! We've been splitting time between our current house and tiny house (about 1.5 hours away) and hurriedly trying to get it done. The snow has arrived, so B's work is getting harder (and colder!). It has been difficult to always be packing and unpacking, and our nerves are a bit stretched. B has been making great progress though, so I'm trying to stay focused on the positive. Here are some pictures of the work we've done since moving it to it's new home.
I am loving how tiny house looks in the snow. I should probably go ahead and make this my Christmas card.
Kitchen cabinets installed! The empty space is for the small fridge. We're going to install butcher block countertops all the way across. A small sink will go under the window.
Bead board on the lounge ceiling replaced with dry wall. The bead board warped like crazy on the ceiling (but not on the loft ceiling..hmmm). It also warped where B used nails instead of staples. We replaced 2 wall panels as well. Lesson learned.
I picked out our flooring! We found the selection was way better at our local flooring store than at lowes. However, we chose a unknown brand and the warranty info is hard to find at best. Hopefully we won't need it.
B working on window trim.
Window trim! It's so exciting to see all the little details coming together.
Installing the flooring. This was surprisingly easy and fast. That's the first time we've said that about a project!
Flooring complete. What is this, like an actual house or something?!
Door for the closet. aka point of contention. The closet isn't deep enough for the door to completely open. It blocks too much potential storage space for my liking. We considered installing it so it opened out or removing the door completely. Scroll 2 pictures down to find out the answer
Baseboards. I like how B put trim around all sides of the wheel wells. It looks so cozy.
No closet door! We're keeping it in storage in case we change our mind (B is leaving the door frame in there. I think we'll do some kind of curtain. I will start the search for something that doesn't look weird.
B installed a nice piece of wood across the loft end. We're going to attach some kind of bar or hooks for our ladder onto this.
B installing the crown molding. Wearing anything warm he can find, even if it's obnoxiously bright! Luckily we got the heater working and he is much warmer!
A view of B working on tiny house from the front. Our little porch is super slippery. Working in the snow is a whole new adventure!
B has the next 2 days off. The goal is to caulk everything and then prime the walls, ceiling panels, cabinets, and built in sofa. I need to figure out the final color scheme asap! Have a great week.

Wisdom from Mahatma Gandhi | 12 Inspiring Quotes
In western society a belief exists that 'achievement' and 'stress' go hand in hand. There's almost an unwritten rule that if you look too calm and peaceful, then you're clearly not working hard enough.
What I love about Mahatma Gandhi is that he proved it's possible to remain gentle in spirit, yet command an enormous amount of strength and respect at the same time.
In a world where authority is revered over genuine leadership, I believe we can learn a lot from the man who fought for a nation with his mind alone.
Gandhi's philosophy was not theoretical but one of pragmatism, that is, practicing his principles in real time. Asked to give a message to the people, he would respond, "My life is my message."
I hope you take something from one of the 12 Gandhi quotes below, maybe even a sense of liberation from the idea that 'it is possible to be a gentle and relaxed Superachiever.'

Whether you're researching central air options or ductless AC and heating units, you'll probably come across terms like "zoned cooling" or "zoning system." The concept of zoning is simple: You can set the temperature in each room (or zone) independently.
For example, some people prefer to keep their bedroom warm and cozy. It's an area of the house where you'll likely be lounging in pajamas or simply changing clothes, so you want the temperature higher than other rooms in your house. On the other hand, you might want the kitchen's temperature to remain a little cooler. Ductless cooling allows you to easily accomplish this type of setup.
How Zoned or Ductless Cooling Works
There are several ways homeowners can achieve zoned cooling effects throughout their living space.
If you already have a single HVAC system, additional features can be installed for zoning purposes. For example, automatic dampers can redirect the flow of air in your existing duct system, and additional sensors throughout the house can relay temperature information back to a master thermostat, which you control.
On the other hand, you can simply have multiple HVAC systems throughout your household. For example, you could have one for the lower level of your house (zone one) and the upper level (zone two). Each zone might have its own thermostat that you can set.
Some cooling solutions offer very sophisticated zoning features. For example, the Mitsubishi ductless systems feature a sensor that keeps track of the amount of people in a zone. It then adjusts the temperature as necessary. By doing so, these ductless mini splits cut down your energy bill without sacrificing your comfort.
Where Zoned Cooling Works Best
Zoned AC cooling is typically desired in larger homes, where the temperature could vary significantly from one area to the next. For example, the temperature in your basement room might be much different than the temperature in your bedroom. Rooms with lots of windows (such as a sunroom) and rooms built over garages can also benefit from zoned cooling. Ductless heating and air devices are especially useful for zoning if you don't want to install new ducts in these rooms, so consider the aforementioned Mitsubishi air conditioning units.
Zoned cooling is generally not needed in small houses or single-story houses. A single zone HVAC might be enough to handle these structures, especially if there's plenty of open space.

We are a small scale mixed vegetable farm. We use organic practices to maintain a sustainable relationship with the environment and natural resources. We believe in using all parts of our produce to reduce waste, including the not-so-photogenic, but equally delicious and nutritious Hilarious Harvests. Our goal is to make fresh produce accessible to those in our community.
Our Beginnings
Riverside Farm took root from a shared passion for food and natural produce. It is carefully run by Jennifer Cline and Caroline Chiu, alumni from the Richmond Farm School Program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. We started small, as two separate half acre incubator farms, Golden Choy Farm and Riverside Farm. In our first year we focused primarily on Farmers Market sales, allowing us to cultivate connections and build relations with customers in our community.
Our CSA Program
After overwhelming bounty and demand from our Farmers Market community, we decided to expand our program to also providing a flexible CSA box for select members of our community. This also led us to join forces at Golden Choy and Riverside Farm and continue as a joint venture under the Riverside Farm name. This merger, along with the commitment and support from our friends and family allowed us to push further from an initial crop diversity of 15 vegetables to 23 vegetables planned for the 2017 season. We are excited to expand our CSA program and provide for all who want to be involved!
Our Growing Community
We love and live off of the support and help of our family of volunteers. Our community of volunteers bring life, experience, energy, and dedication to our project. We share knowledge, our love for food, and a desire to reconnect with our natural environment. We accept volunteers regardless of skill levels and we'll teach you the skills suited to a rotation of roles. We welcome anyone to get in touch with us and come for a visit at the farm.

POS is not clear whether the suggested guidance would be a statutory requirement for all local authorities to complete a tall buildings study and have relevant policies. This may be inappropriate and a waste of resources in some rural locations. It should only be a requirement where a tall buildings policy is needed. The Society response indicates that the guidance should align with the NPPG.

California Car Accident Lawyers and Finding the Best you can Get
With a big city like California where thousands upon thousands of vehicle share the roads day in and day out, it would certainly be a miracle to have a day without a car accident. A stone cold fact when it comes right down to driving is that no matter how cautious you are when you are out driving on the road, all that is required for your life to be put in danger is to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and that would be sharing the road with a reckless driver. If you is on your side when you get into a car accident, you would be able to walk out of it alive and you may perhaps have the luck of a leprechaun if you are able to get out unscathed.
Of course, most car accident cases would result for the parties involved to sustain personal injuries and when it comes right down to this, certain liabilities will be born from it. Among the things you are entitled to as far as liabilities are concerned would be proper amount of compensation for your medical expenses as well as damage to your property, which would be your car in this case. Finding the best car accident lawyer in your area would be one of the things you will want to do when it comes right down to this in order for you to be able to make sure that the legal concerns in this matter are addressed properly. Conidering the fact that there are so many car accident lawyers in California however, and that they all claim to be the best, accomplishing this task can both be daunting and tricky.
If you have no idea about what you need to look for or where exactly you should look, then you will find that making a decision over the matter can be quite difficult. Despite the fact that making a decision over this can be both tricky and daunting, there are still ways for you to be able to simplify things on your end and doing your homework is the only thing that would be required on your end. There are so many places over the internet where you would be able to gather valuable pieces of information when it comes right down to this and it would be a wise course of action on your part to check them out. The review pages are among the things that would be able to assist you tremendously when it comes right down to this and checking them out would certainly be worth your time.

text: River, otherwise known as Ryan had got into a new school. His family moved into a entirely new country and house because they needed a 'new change'. He didn't think it'd be this kind of change though and that it'd be happening so soon. The entire country they were moving too wasn't that interesting either. Not as interesting as the one they were originally in. He heard that the weather in the new one was always gloomy with tons of rain whilst in their other country it was always bright and sunny. They needed a 'change of atmosphere' but he didn't expect to be moving the country to a new neighbourhood. He was even moving to a new school when he liked his old ones. His old ones were understanding, caring and loving. He even told them about his other identity and his name was originally River until he had changed his gender after realising he didn't want to be a girl anymore, not that it was bad. It was like he was born wrong and should've been a guy. Since he didn't get into the mixed school he was going to an all guys school since he had got into one. He sat in the car drive to his house, staring out of the window. It was raining, already. "It won't be that bad" His mom says. "Sure" He said quickly, but his voice was cold. He'd be starting school next week too and he was nervous about that as well.

Suitabe for getting rid of pain...

I'm holiday-healer/therapist in Japan with reiki, theta healing, shiatsu, and massage. I tried to use it my criant on his ache (knee) at the first time, he cried "Hey, Kei, where is my pain?!! I might leave my pain somewhere!"
Suitabe for getting rid of pain...
He's always been suffered with his knee-ache for a long time when it was rainy/crowdy days.
If he get it himself, I must be lose my criant!
It's joking which I may lose my criant but this tuning fork is really good for pain such as above example!
Great tool for body work...
Posted by Charles on Mar 16th 2016
Great tool for body work...
I Practice Shiatsu, and I incorporate this fork in my treatments.
I find it works very good on acupressure points and my clients love it.
I strongly suggest you also get the earth tuner, Using both will produce binural beats.
I start My session and end up my session, with the beats.
This will put any one in an alpha state, much more efficient that any recording out there.
Very Relaxing...

Very Relaxing...
This Tuning Fork C128 is a very good tool. I used it on myself the very first day i got it and it relaxed me so much that when I went to bed (10m after the session)I sank deep and slept very well! Usually I wake up more than twice a night and last night I had a deep sleep and felt very rested. Maybe i will do it every night and see how it goes!
I'm really glad
Posted by Elizabeth on Mar 16th 2016
I purchased both the otto 128 and ohm earth tuning forks and I'm really glad I did. I have never used tuning forks before and I didn't know what to expect but decided to give them a try. I have chronic pain and the day after I received them I decided to try them on the severe pain I was having in my legs. After moving up my legs and knees I really wasn't sure anything happened then within the hour my pain was totally gone! Additionally, I had very vivid dreams and could feel that it was helping to release and move that stagnant energy. I have since used them on other areas of the body and even on my kids with the same success. I will be adding additional tuning forks to my collection and would highly recommend.

A panic attack is a peak in the development of vegetovascular dystonia. With this attack, all the symptoms intensify, and fear and panic reach their higher point. When the panic attack started, it can't be stopped by anything.
It is possible to smooth out and reduce its duration only with the help of medications, for example, with the help of Xanax. This is a strong enough drug, which you can buy at the pharmacy. It belongs to sedatives and has a complex effect. Why this particular drug? Because it starts acting very quickly, within 5-10 minutes. Also, almost no side effect exist from a single dose. It removes fear, reduces the sensitivity of the body to adrenaline – the hormone of fear.
It is useless to take all herbs-based drugs during the panic attack (they have a very mild calming effect, which begins 1-2 hours after ingestion). If you consider that the attack lasts 30-90 minutes, then there is no reason to use tinctures of valerian, peony, motherwort, hawthorn. They are effective in the complex treatment with regular admission. Xanax combines several effects at once to fight the disease.
There are several types of drugs that are prescribed to combat panic attacks. These include:
- They minimize anxiety and emotional tension, normalize palpitation and sweating. You need to take these medications episodically – for example, feeling the approach of an attack. The side effects of many tranquilizers are that they can be addictive, which leads to withdrawal of the drug. For this reason, tranquilizers usually last only a couple of weeks. In addition, there are violations of the concentration of attention, and the reaction rate is reduced,
- Taking antidepressants helps to cope with emotional instability and excitability, they improve sleep and mood, minimize stress and anxiety. But there are also possible complicating moments, manifested in the form of violations of the gastrointestinal tract, headaches and lethargy, dizziness, insomnia or drowsiness, weakness and so on. Taking medications of this type often starts with small doses, gradually increasing them. The same happens during the cancellation: the dose of antidepressants decreases gradually. The course of treatment is from six months to a year,
- They are divided into so-called large and small neuroleptics – the latter are often used to treat panic attacks,
- nootropic drugs. The purpose of these drugs is to normalize and improve the functioning of the brain. They are appointed to combat anxiety in conjunction with other drugs,
- soothing (sedative). These are the least dangerous drugs that are not addictive but help fight panic attacks.
The best thing is to stay away from medications altogether, because, as the experience shows, the psyche allows patients to get rid of panic attacks without resorting to drugs in the overwhelming majority of cases. Anyway, by taking Xanax in emergency cases, you will provide a full protection against panic attacks and help your body.

At the moment, I'm in awe of Kate Atkinson and her literary novel, Life After Life, which couldn't be further removed from Jackson Brodie and hisCase Histories. Also, a high five must go to JK Rowling for doing what she wanted when she drew a line under Harry P. I am a big fan of both The Casual Vacancy and The Cuckoos Calling.
So, now it's my turn to take the plunge … and I thought you may be interested in the journey that led me here, through the forest of rejection letters, three literary agents and the welcome freedom of independent publishing.
This month sees the release of my first straight crime novel, Crimson Shore, the first novel in The Gold Detectives series. It feels great to be writing in a genre I love, among writers whose work I admire. But a little part of me also feels that maybe I am copping out after two years of railing against the constraints of the publishing industry.
Let me explain ...
In 2012 I published my first two novels via Triskele Books. The Charter and Closure(followed by Complicit in 2013) were all what I classed as cross-genre. To be exact, they were a melting pot of genres. Crime thriller, mixed with historical fiction, paranormal, and a good dose of police procedural. I spent much of that period defending my decision to break down what I saw as genre boundaries imposed by traditional publishing and welcoming with open arms the freedom that Triskele and independent publishing offered me.
But I had a guilty secret. Behind the scenes, I still had a literary agent who spent most of 2010, 2011 and 2012 trying to sell my straight crime novels to large publishing houses without success. So, why did I find myself with a foot firmly in both camps?
The first full length novel I completed to something near publishing standard was an early version of Closure, a book that featured a young boy whose visions, coupled with his mother's belief in reincarnation, led to the capture of a serial killer. The second book I wrote, The Charter, had a plot tied very tightly to the 1859 sinking of the steamship, The Royal Charter, and the ghost of a girl who died in the tragedy.
My final agent was my third. All had loved my writing but couldn't sell the books. This agent was blunt and practical. Traditional publishing markets were not ready to welcome my style of cross-genre. 'Crime readers read crime,' she said. 'Ghost stories are read my lovers of paranormal. A crime reader doesn't want to read about ghosts. If publishers can't see a market, they won't buy the books. It's all about sales for them.'
I didn't agree, but felt in no position to argue. 'Take out all the ghosts and let's see what's left,' she said. 'Give the books a different central core but stick with the bunch of detectives. I like them.'
With that ringing in my ears, I adapted one of my books into a straight crime detective story. For my own tastes, I still added a bit of a spooky element with the death of a psychic who foresaw murders. 'Nope,' came back the reply, 'it's still too paranormal, cut the psychic. How about a teacher? Through gritted teeth I rewrote the book. And rewrote the book. And then, just for fun, rewrote it again. I wrote the second in the proposed series whilst I was waiting for the first one to be agreed. I knew my writing was getting stronger, and finally it was deemed ready to pitch to publishers. And so began another waiting game.
Stubbornly, the story of that little boy and his nightmares (Closure), and the eerie opening scene of the sinking of The Royal Charter (The Charter) were still firmly rooted in my brain. I had to write them out. So, I filled my time and continued with my cross-genre writing on the side, and by the time Triskele Books came into fruition in late 2011, I had two completed cross-genre manuscripts.
For reasons outside of my control (which increasingly seemed to be the case) the deal with the publisher fell through and, after a lot of soul searching, I decided to part company with my agent. The thought of another round of submissions, the endless waiting and potential rewriting filled me with dread.
It was time to put all of my eggs in one basket and publish my crime series via Triskele. What did I have to lose?
Indie publishing was breaking new ground, and with the efforts of Orna Ross and the Alliance of Independent Authors among others, readers were starting to take notice of indie published books and that early stigma of poor quality was becoming a thing of the past. Triskele is a part of me and so carries many of my ideals for quality, professional writing. It offers me the freedom to write what I want and release what I choose. I have a six book series to work my way through plus an idea bubbling away that is currently under research to release a historical fiction novel in the future. I am currently auditioning narrators for audiobooks. And I know I shall have no option but answer the call of my cross-genre spooky thriller writing again one day. So, why choose when we can be greedy and do them all, and let's thank indie publishing for giving us the freedom and opportunity.
So, while a little part of me is glad I chose to ignore boundaries and write what I loved back in 2010, another part of me will forever be grateful to the agent who pushed me to develop my straight crime writing, because now I have The Gold Detectives to look forward to for many years to come. I finally feel that I am back in control of my career and with the increased success of indie-publishing, Triskele Books are carving a real reputation for their quality books and strong time and place brand. And I have three spooky novels under my belt that I am proud of and which have built me a great audience of readers.
So, now the proof is in the pudding, as the first book in The Gold Detective series, titled CRIMSON SHORE, will be released 1st June 2014. And I can't wait to see what readers think of my move into straight crime fiction. I hope they enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed the journey to get here.
And I hope every writer reading this goes on to do something brave!

A seizure to Shankill Predators number 8 Julie-Ann McCann after 70 min signalled the end of a entertaining game which had seen Cliftonville ladies 3-0 at by half time.
The referee temporarily stopped the game when the midfielder went down with no one anywhere near her. Her team mates immediately shouted for help, and an ambulance was called. It took 15 min for the ambulance to arrive, and thankfully during this time Julie-Ann started to come round, however the ambulance crew still wanted to take her in just to be sure, and by the time they had got her onto a stretcher and into the ambulance over 20 min had passed, at which point the referee consulted with both managers and sensibly blew the game up.
The game itself was quite a good spectacle. It started quickly, with plenty of end to end football, but there were only one or two chances of note. The first goal came in an unexpected fashion, as Cliftonville won a free kick just inside the opposition half, around 45 yards out. Clitonvilles number 8, Rachael Cromie, took command and confidently hit an effort at the net. It was down the middle and on target, but was hit well, just under the bar. Goalkeeper Anna Daly managed to get a hand to it, but was unable to keep it out.
Cliftonville were able to build up play and put their opponents under some pressure, and they gave away a few foul, which looked like the reds best chance of scoring another. This proved to be true when they won a free kick around 25 yards out on the right had side, which was curled home brilliantly by the left boot of Northern Ireland international midfielder Marissa Callaghan after 18 minutes.
The Predators recovered well after this and were able to create a few chances themselves, and forced one or two saves from Cliftonville goalkeeper and captain Tiarna McKenna. They also managed to regain some composure at the back with centre back Billie Simpson leading by example, blocking and heading away the majority of Cliftonvilles attacks and tried to start attacks herself by running out from the back .
However, Cliftonville defended well throughout the match, and waited for another chance to come their way, which it did after 39 minutes, when some good play saw number 11 Niamh Adams get through and hit a shot on goal. A desperate lunge from a Predators defender managed to get a nick on the goal bound ball, but couldn't keep it out, and Cliftonville took a 3-0 lead into half time.
The second half seen Shankill Predators perform much better in defence and restrict Cliftonville to only one speculative effort, when Joanne McCalthy cut inside her marker from 30 yards and hit a dipping shot towards the far corner, which went just over bar.
The final whistle was then blown when Julie-Ann McCann required hospital treatment. As 70 minutes had been played, the 3-0 results to Cliftonville stands, and they make it two wins from two, after their 1-0 victory against Ballymena in their opening fixture of the season. These wins came either side of a penalty shootout victory over Crusaders Strikers in the county Antrim Shield. They have also yet to concede a league goal, a stat that will be tested in their next fixture, a league game away to Crusaders, who will be seeking revenge for their cup exit. Shankill Predators are away to Linfield ladies, with both games kicking off at 19:00.

Jaded Little Lies (#1), Coming May 15th, 2015
What do you do when the love of your life is halfway across the world?
If you're Jade Reamer, you fill that void with writing depressing song lyrics, hanging out with asshole exes, and re-reading your dead best friend's diary (morbid, anyone?). But she's got a lot to deal with—getting to know her biological family, for one. Not to mention getting through her first year of university without her best friend, Nina, by her side.
Then there are the men in Jade's life. Her ex, Connor, has baggage coming out of his ass since the car accident. Her brother, Bryn, thinks stifling who he really is while pretending everything's okay … is okay. When that's far from the truth. And Reed? Reed decides the best way for Jade to deal with his absence is to get her a dog. And when he finally comes back?
Well, things aren't exactly the same.
Deciphering between love and hate is the least of Jade's problems … those four letter words are getting more and more complicated. Especially when she and Reed are keeping secrets from each other. Because as she forms new relationships and rekindles old ones, an unexpected surprise has got Jade's mouth spewing lies on top of the usual curse words.
But little white lies won't hurt anybody, right?
Also in the Four Letters Series:
Those Four Letter Words
Where Jade's story begins …
I HAVE TO DO this bullshit English assignment on the topic of love and hate, and discuss the similarities between the two. You know, considering they're such polar opposites. Life is just full of love-hate relationships, isn't it? Then there are those people that you just love to hate. I believe you'd call that an oxymoron … although this assignment seems rather moronic IMHO. Yes, Ms. Fields, I am calling this assignment both bullshit and moronic, and if you don't understand my acronyms, you need to take a lesson in Slang 101 (insert smirk).
This section right here is supposed to be the blurb on what I'm going to be writing about in this paper, but honestly I don't feel the need to explain. You know what my life has been like, Ms. Fields.
And apparently so does the rest of the goddamn school.
Besides, I'm already passing this course due to my incredibly gifted mind. And I know you secretly have a soft spot for me, Ms. Fields. You know—that poor, misunderstood, angst-driven student. I wouldn't be doing myself justice if I did this any other way.
So without further ado …
This 15,000 word novella contains coarse language, angst-driven young adults, and a lot of pent-up frustration.
Oh yeah. Plus love and a little bit of hate.

Recent tech trends in the hospitality industry are opening up new opportunities for hotel managers to take greater control of their business success.
So, there's a lot to love about summer '16 right now.
In addition to the cold beers on the patio and the sun-kissed cheeks, business is booming. Travelers are booking left and right. The pool decks are crowded, the suite floors are covered in sandy footprints, and profits—just like guests' spirits—are high.
But this business can be feast or famine. You know what I mean: when it's good, it's great. But the off-season can be downright disheartening, not to mention tough to weather sustainably.
There are three trends in particular that you should know about and use to your advantage. Doing so can help turn even your low-seasons into peaks.
It's getting easier for hotels to land more direct bookings
Something everyone is talking about these days is direct bookings—and for good reason.
Hotel giants Marriott and Hilton are using their considerable clout to influence travelers and convince them to book directly on the hotel website. They want the world to know that when it comes to hotel rates, it's not better to shop around.
They're running educational marketing campaigns to dispel the myth that the best deal is always with an OTA and to promote the benefits of booking directly. And these campaigns are effectively driving travelers straight to hotel websites—perhaps yours.
So take note of how companies such as Marriott are getting travelers to book directly with them. First, they're offering rewards. So should you. Whether you start a loyalty program, offer a complimentary bottle of wine, give a discount at your restaurant, or find some other way to reward your direct bookers is entirely up to you. You can get really creative with your offerings.
Second, they're guaranteeing the lowest price. To attract more direct bookings, make it clear that the best rates for your rooms are found right on your website.
There's something else you can do: show your own rates on your online profile with a link to your official website, so that guests get redirected there to complete their booking. How? Through the hotel metasearch site that offers direct connection for hotels.
Direct reservation requests are coming in from many channels and new tech trends
Recently in Greece, I had the opportunity to speak with many independent business owners in the local hospitality sector. And I kept hearing the same thing over and over from restaurateurs and hoteliers:
''It's crazy, people are texting us their reservation requests.''
Keep in mind that hotels in many Mediterranean countries still refer to the fax machine as a highly coveted communication device. There's nothing wrong with that; but hoteliers need to appreciate that many people prefer other, more modern means of communication. From fax to phone, reservations are coming in through both conventional and unconventional channels these days.
So should you be reachable through mobile channels? It couldn't hurt.
When you do have a mobile device, guests are able to get in touch—and ideally get a response—virtually instantly. And text messaging is just the start; many travelers are turning to social media to engage with hotels. Instant message is becoming a preferred means of communication for social media-savvy bookers.
Want to find out your guests' intended arrival time? Text them. Want to earn business from your Facebook and Twitter accounts? Activate your instant messaging and allow these sites to notify you when you receive a message. You'll be amazed at how much mobile communication can streamline and improve your operations.
And that's not all you can do with mobile devices—not even close
If you have a smartphone, add your business email account to be able to access your inbox anywhere. Many travel technology providers (including Base7booking) have phone apps that let hoteliers access their reservation tools on their mobile devices. Big hotels have mobile check-in features and, in some cases, even apps that let guests order room service on their devices. The ways in which mobile devices are improving the hospitality industry, for hoteliers and guests alike, are numerous and always increasing.
Something to remember: when a guest enquires about your hotel, chances are good that they're reaching out to other properties as well. And the hotel that answers first typically becomes the preferred choice. Don't lose bookings due to a lag in response time: go mobile.
Hoteliers are jumping in on metasearch tech trends to grow their business online
A lot of travelers use metasearch to find their ideal hotel at the lowest rate. Why? It's simple and convenient.
A hotel metasearch site aggregates every hotel deal online that fits the searcher's criteria and displays them all in one comprehensive list. Travelers no longer need to spend days or weeks trying to find the property that best suits their needs. They just enter their dates, location, price, and amenity preferences into a hotel metasearch engine and within seconds can see all the available options and rates—from all across the Internet.
According to Google, almost one in every two travelers around the world uses metasearch to find their accommodations. So the question is: If so many travelers use metasearch, how can hotels use it to their advantage?
You can take control of your online hotel profile and customise it with high-quality images, accurate amenity listings, compelling descriptions, and more. The first impression potential guests have of you is often on metasearch, so make sure it's a good one.
Don't wait for the low-season to get started
Look at your offerings and rates and see what you can leverage to encourage more direct bookings. Make your hotel operations mobile-friendly for added convenience and more booking channels. And get the most out of metasearch by optimizing your hotel profile and increasing the number of OTAs you work with.

|[Triplesec] [Authz] Alternate Definitions
|Sat, 27 Oct 2007 21:25:06 GMT
Alex previously proposed some definitions of terms so we can talk about what Triplesec might do and I, thinking they weren't all that clear, suggested we use definitions from the NIST paper. Alex quite rightly pointed out that my proposal has an uncanny similarity to suggesting putting vaporware into production (those weren't his words) so I'm going to try to come up with proposed definitions that I think are the same as the NIST ones, with a tiny bit of motivating discussion. I'll discuss the problems I see in Alex's definitions in a separate note. I'm also going to leave out discussion of denied permissions or roles which although they are pretty useful make logical analysis of the meaning of a role a lot more complicated. Lets see if we can agree on the positive aspects before we consider these negative ones :-) So, we have actors who want to do stuff to things, and we want to decide whether to let them. The actors are usually people but might be services or something else: in any case we'll assume we've figured out who they are. -- Users: the set of actors who are trying to do stuff. -- Objects: the set of things the users are trying to do stuff to -- Operations: the things the users are trying to do to the objects We start by grouping the things and objects together into permissions: a permission is a set of things you can do to a set of objects. More formally -- Permissions: the set of subsets of the cross product of Objects and Operations. (one permission is a subset of Objects X Operations) A simple permission might be one operation on one object, such as "read this file foo.xml" but more complicated permissions do show up such as a javaee web permission "access to urls (in the app) starting with /myContext/ except for /myContext/private/ and /myContext/ forbidden/" So we could just directly configure a subset of Users X Permissions and declare victory, but that is obviously unmanageable. Instead we group stuff together into roles. On one hand we associate roles and permissions, and on the other hand we associate roles and users. -- Roles: the set of roles. (so far they are just names) So, we associate roles and permissions -- Role-Permissions the permissions assigned to a role, more formally a subset of Roles X Permissions -- Role-Users the users assigned to a role, more formally a subset of Roles X Users. I'm about to make things a little more complicated, but for now lets just say a user in a role gets the permissions assigned to that role. So if a user is in a set of roles, they get the union of the permissions assigned to those roles. So this is better than no roles at all, but with a lot of users or a lot of permissions, there's still waaaaay too much work to do. So we need hierarchical roles where a role can have children and/or parents. So we figure the roles form a directed acyclic graph which defines a partial ordering on the roles. One very important thing to notice here is that it appears to go in opposite directions for permissions and users. If Role1 is senior to Role2 then Role1 has all the permissions of Role2 (and presumably more) whereas Role2 has all the users of Role1 (and presumably more). In other words, a bigger (in terms of permissions) role has fewer users. Now for the complicating factor. Just like your bank safe deposit box has 2 keys, one for you and one for the bank, sometimes people want to set up processes where no one person can do it all. This generally seems to be called separation of duty. There are two ways to think about this. One is that if a user ever has the possibility of being in role A (fill out the purchase order) they cannot ever be in role B (approve the purchase order). This is called static separation of duty and is a constraint on the Role-Users assignments. Such a constraint is a set of roles and a number n and means that no user can have n of the roles in the set. For instance {A, B} and 2 for the purchase order example. So, maybe this is too restrictive and you just want to make sure that the user can't be in the roles at the same time, but if they change which roles are active that would be ok. So we need a concept of a user session which is the roles that are active for a particular user at a particular time. -- Sessions: a session is the set of roles active for a user now. So, its a subset of the Roles-User association which is all the roles a user could possibly activate. Now, a dynamic separation of duty constraint is just like the static one but it applies to the Sessions rather than the Role-Users association. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Extensions: 1. The objects involved in permissions are apt to be really numerous, but they typically come in bunches, namely from application modules or applications. Furthermore, you may want to assign application specific roles and then aggregate them into larger cross-application roles. (for instance this is pretty much necessary for javaee and jacc). So I propose organizing the objects into one or a set of trees which we might call scopes, and associating roles with scopes: a role could only include permissions using objects in the scope (including descendants) and all the junior roles would also be in the scope or descendants. [ I originally called these applications in my triplesec branch, but this doesn't seem very appropriate. Scope may not be the best term. I don't know how it relates to "scopes" in microsoft AzMan ] 2. Theoretically one should not need denied permissions since you can presumably just take the set theoretic difference of the subsets of Objects X Actions to get a new permission representing granted - denied. However the representation of permissions may make this difficult or impractical so allowing roles to have granted permissions, denied permissions, granted roles, and denied roles seems to make it easier to fine tune the meaning of a larger role. I haven't investigated the exact meaning of this in terms of the set- theoretic model above. It's pretty easy to implement however. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments 1. triplesec (trunk) has a Profile feature that Alex has recently been telling me he doesn't like any more. I don't like the implementation but I think its for the same purpose as the dynamic separation of duty constraints and the session concept. Basically profiles are, to me, statically configured sessions for different jobs; enforcement of separation of duty constraints is left up to the viligance of the administrator setting up the profiles. 2. These definitions are fairly set-theoretic which may not be to everyones taste. Perhaps due to my previous training as a mathematician I find this style a lot clearer than a lot of words. In particular I recognize that the extensions are a lot less clear than the main stuff. Maybe we could add more words and keep everyone happy :-) 3. With the exception of separation of duty constraints this is all implemented in my sandbox triplesec branch. By no means am I suggesting anything particularly good about this, but it is possible to implement and if you want to see a possible ldap schema that will store this info you can look at it. Most likely lots of big improvements can be made. This should definitely not be regarded as anything other than a proof of concept and it has some major practical problems such as not relating to existing external stores of user information. thanks david jencks

After an Alabama interception late in the second quarter against Arkansas Saturday, Crimson Tide offensive tackle Cam Robinson was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. While it looked like Robinson got in the face of Arkansas Razorbacks head coach Bret Bielema and a number of Razorback players, a video has surfaced that makes it appear that Bielema not only jumped in front of the Alabama player, but the acted like he was shoved by Robinson.
Once the referee threw the flag, Bielema then celebrated his work with a dance.

OTTAWA — The Liberal government is committing $101 million over five years to reduce violence against women, a highlight of a federal budget that promised to consider the way programs and policies impact different genders in different ways.
The money, beginning with $19 million this coming fiscal year is going to back up a federal strategy on gender-based violence that Status of Women Minister Maryam Monsef is expected to unveil in the coming weeks.
More details are coming later, but the budget tabled Wednesday said it will include setting up a "centre of excellence" within Status of Women Canada to co-ordinate efforts and also measures from the RCMP and the Defence Department.
The anti-violence initiative is part of a budget the Liberals are selling as having been designed with women in mind.

This includes, for the first time in Canadian history, an element of gender-based analysis, which means examining how budgetary measures might produce different effects — both positive and negative — for women and men, or girls and boys.
Gender-based analysis also takes age, income, culture, ethnicity and other intersecting factors into account.
"The decisions we make, and the policies we create, impact men and women differently," Finance Minister Bill Morneau said in the House of Commons as he delivered the 2017 budget.
"We know, for example, that while Canadian companies are getting better when it comes to hiring more women, they're still less effective at promoting women to senior roles and we know that fewer women join or stay in the workforce than men," Morneau said. "That means that as a country, we aren't taking full advantage of the talents, insights and experience of more than half of our population."
The anti-violence initiative is part of a budget the Liberals are selling as having been designed with women in mind.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who proudly calls himself a feminist, has argued gender equality makes good economic sense.
The budget backs that up by with measures aimed at increasing the number women entering the workforce or taking on full-time jobs.
That includes $7 billion over the next decade to increase access to affordable child care, the option to begin maternity leave earlier or extend parental leave to 18 months — at a lower benefit rate — and access to employment insurance benefits for people who need to take time off work to care for an ill or aging relative.
Ethics and conduct training for judges
The budget also proposes $2.7 million over five years, plus $500,000 annually afterwards, for the Canadian Judicial Council to support training on ethics and conduct for federally appointed judges, while also ensuring access to professional development that is gender- and culturally sensitive.
The budget includes a 25-page "gender statement" that takes a high-level look at the gender impact of 60 measures in the 2017 budget, described as a "start" towards a deeper, gender-based analysis next year.
For example, it suggests that women "will benefit significantly" from the new EI caregiving benefits, because women are "more likely" to provide care than men.

Stretching out between Port Phillip Bay and Western Port Bay, the Mornington Peninsula has formed an important part of Australia's summer scene for over one hundred years. In the past, the inland areas of the Peninsula were made up of verdant farmland and traditional values. Today, the land is now scattered with lush vineyards and vibrant orchards, making it the perfect escape for foodies.
Towards the coast, the Peninsula boasts sprawling beaches, where families frolic with buckets and spades and seaside cafes serve up local treats. Further around along the Bass Strait, the beaches are an unusual black colour and feature a handful of picturesque walks that take in the rugged sea and the wild natural backdrop. If you're looking to soak up some of Australia's most jaw-dropping scenes, including a mixed array of beautiful beaches that peter out into the glistening ocean, the Mornington Peninsula is the place to go.

Re: super smash bros & sonic sprites
There were a lot of sprites in the Spriter's Resoure, but then it was closed,
So i don't know were to fing them. You could try ShyGuy's Kingdom.
I began flashing as a sprite animator, and was mainly working with megaman sprites. If you need some, check Sprite INC
They have a lot!
Speaking of that, i don't have any idea why i left sprite animating...
I think i have my last work (never finished, didn't even begin working on the scenario) it somewhere on my PC (dunno if i can fing it).
And if i do, I'll post the .swf

The Final Solution: The Program Of The Hon. Elijah MuhammadFriday, December 03, 2010Brother Mustafaa
|The Hon. Elijah Muhammad is a true master builder
Brother Mustafaa Abdul Muhammad
In The Name Of ALLAH, The Beneficent, The Merciful
"And remind, for reminding profits the believers." Holy Qur'an 51:55
In this post, I just want to remind ALL of us of the importance of what The Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad taught us to do which was UNITE and DO FOR SELF. He warned us to DO FOR SELF or we would be forced to take such action in the near future.
For the past few years we have been hearing of the wobble in the American economy. Some days we hear of it rebounding and others days it seems that it has taken two steps back. The truth is the politicians are hiding the real truth of the condition of America as The Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad and The Hon. Louis Farrakhan have revealed.
"We do not believe that America will ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed, in addition to jobs for the 20,000,000 black people as well." Point #10 The Muslim Program
The greedy wealthy ones of America have not done right by the poor and weak of this nation regardless to color. Veterans who have fought and suffered for this country are living under bridges and in cardboard boxes. The greed in the financial sector led to what is called the great recession by some and joblessness by many in this country. Yet, the rich refused to give any continued assistance to those jobless Americans. No jobs and no unemployment assistance... what do you expect the people to do? As the late Tupac Shakur said: "You have money for wars, but can't feed the poor."
In all of this we as black people suffer the most. As it is said we are FIRST fired and LAST hired.
The United States of America is the fulfillment of the prophetical pictures given of ancient nations like Babylon, Rome and most prominent the story of Egypt persecution of the children of Israel, which the black people of America are fulfillment of the persecuted Children of Israel.
The root of why America is suffering as announced by the modern Messengers of God is that she was founded on Slavery, Suffering, Death and she refuses to give true justice to those who have been robbed of everything including their very mind. This includes injustice to the Native Americans as well.
Therefore, the hand of of God is against America as Moses asked God to destroy Pharaoh's wealth and power
"And Moses said: Our Lord, surely Thou hast given Pharaoh and his chiefs finery and riches in this world's life, our Lord, that they may lead (people) astray from Thy way. Our Lord, destroy their riches and harden their hearts, so that they believe not till they see the painful chastisement." Holy Qur'an 10:88
Unless the wicked change from their ways and give the people of God what is owed to them we will continue to see the fall of America.
Almighty God ALLAH through his Messenger-Messiah, The Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad, provided the Black Man and Woman of America with a road map to salvation out of the fall of America.
I conclude this writing with the words of The Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad on the plan of salvation for you and I.
Thank you for reading these words
The Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad
"We, the poor Black people here in America, must be changed into a new and different people altogether, so Allah (God) Whom came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever, taught me.
But, not a complete make of us -- we will be renewed from what we are in now -- and we call it a new thing. There will come a day when we (the Black people) will have a completely new thing for man and earth and the heavens above us! But, according to the scientists, God will cause this to grow into a new thing -- not a complete destruction of the old where there is no root tog row something from -- not at this time!
The things that Allah (God) would like to do now, and will do, is to destroy the works of the devil -- as the devil would like to destroy God's work, which God has created.
The devil cannot destroy God's creation because the devil had no part in the creation of the first creation. Since the devil had no part in the first creation, this makes the devil unable to lay hold to the power that would destroy the first work (of God).
The main thing, which I keep mentioning enough to make you disgusted is -- something for the Black man in America, who has spent his life long in sleeping, in ignorance of the knowledge of that which he is in.
But as soon as the Black man can awaken to the knowledge of this that he is in, then he can lay hold to that which he did not have knowledge of, which is that the Black man is the creator of the first creation.
Allah (God) wants to put the Black man back into power and the way the Black man can be put back into power is: Allah has to make the Black man all over again to master the power after giving the Black man the authority.
Look at the poor once-pitiful Black man in America -- look at how he strives to reach for himself, and is now making a fast progress in that which God leads for Him to Understand --
The Black man's conversation is changed -- the Black man's way of thinking is changed -- his actual physical form is changed -- It is a great thing that has come to the Black man in America. The Black man in America is getting happier and happier.
It is not hard for the Black man in America to get rich, for he is getting rich from his own wisdom. No one has given him anything.
As the Bible teaches you of the Prodigal Son -- 'no one gave unto him, but he is getting rich, so fast, that God chooses the Prodigal Son to become the head of the house that he strayed away from!
The future of the Black man is so beautiful that we can hardly comprehend it! The biggest thing that stands before us is qualification --- and readiness. Let us get qualified to master the house that God is giving to us, before someone tries to rob us of that mastering of the house. If they rob us of the mastery of the house, I am sorry for us.
I say to you, Black brother and Black sister, do not be foolish. The kingdom of heaven will be given to you and to me. Have patience to receive it.
But, to get the house into our service, it is like a mother giving birth to a baby -- the baby must mature in that which he is in. As a baby matures in the womb of the mother in order to be born, so the Black Man must mature to be born into a new world that the Black man must build himself."

Part of this chapter is an updated version of Hoeijmakers JHJ: Human nucleotide excision repair syndromes: Molecular clues to unexpected intricacies, Eur J Cancer 30A(13):1912, 1994; used with permission from Elsevier Science, Ltd., The Boulevard, Lanfordlane, Kidlington OX5 1GB, UK. Abstract Three rare autosomal recessive syndromes are associated with a nucleotide excision repair (NER) defect: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne syndrome (CS), and the photosensitive form of trichothiodystrophy (TTD). A common denominator of all three conditions is an extreme sensitivity to sunlight. XP patients exhibit in addition to photosensitivity a greater than thousand-fold increased frequency of sunlight-induced skin cancers. Other features include progressive degenerative alterations of the skin and eyes and in some cases accelerated neurologic degeneration due to increased neuronal death. Patients with CS have a combination of sun sensitivity, short stature, severe neurologic abnormalities due to dysmyelination, cataracts, dental caries, a wizened appearance, and a characteristic bird-like facies. They do not display cancer predisposition. The hallmark of TTD is sulfur-deficient brittle hair and nails. Patients also have ichthyosis and many symptoms characteristic of CS. About half of TTD patients are hypersensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, and they have a NER defect. As in CS, there are no indications for an increased risk of cancer. In addition to the preceding, rare patients showing combined XP-CS symptoms have been described. The NER pathway removes a remarkably wide array of structurally unrelated DNA lesions. Among these are numerous helix-distorting chemical adducts induced by carcinogens such as benz[a]pyrene, as well as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) and [6-4]pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts (6-4PP) produced in human skin by the shortwave UV component of the solar spectrum. This explains why patients with inherited deficiencies in the NER process display marked hypersensitivity to sun exposure. Defective repair also results in genetic instability leading to increased chromosome abnormalities and mutagenesis and in many cases predisposition to cancer. At least two NER subpathways exist: a rapid transcription-coupled repair (TCR) pathway responsible for the efficient elimination of lesions from the transcribed strand of active genes that permits rapid resumption of the vital process of transcription and for some lesions a less efficient global genome repair (GGR) subpathway that surveys the entire genome. Complementation analysis by cell fusion has allowed a further genetic classification of XP, CS, and TTD patients. In XP, seven different complementation groups are distinguished, representing seven distinct defective genes involved in NER in XP: XP-A, -B, -C, -D, -E, -F, and -G. In addition, another class of XP patients (XP variant) appears to be deficient in a gene product that in normal cells permits semiconservative replication of previously damaged sites in the DNA template (postreplication repair). Similarly, complementation analysis has revealed two complementation groups in CS, CS-A and CS-B, and three in TTD, of which two ...

A British firm hired to review security at Egypt airports after the October crash of a Russian plane will begin its work at the weekend, the civil aviation minister said Wednesday. The global consultancy firm Control Risks will begin "assessing security procedures at the Sharm el-Sheikh airport from Sunday," Civil Aviation Minister Hossam Kamal said in a statement. The A-321 airliner operated by Russia's Metrojet and bound for Saint Petersburg broke up mid-air over the Sinai, minutes after take-off from the Red Sea tourism hub of Sharm el-Sheikh.
